Whoa, really? I've been glued to the LSN graph.. and all i see is 170+! Any chance that person was URM?

No. The person fudged their LSAT score slightly; in reality, they had a 169.

The acceptance pattern I'm noticing is that those with (relatively) low LSAT #s have excellent softs, and those without excellent softs have high numbers. But that's nothing new for Stanford, which is probably the most holistic of the top schools, save for perhaps Yale and Berkeley.

I was complete in late November. It looks like, with these early calls, that Stanford has made its way through early November. I hope I at least have a chance of hearing from them before Christmas break, but it looks doubtful.

Thanks for the heads up. Yesterday morning, I got a call from the 650 area code on my cell as I was getting dressed. I literally tripped over my pants--I had one leg in and one leg out--as I scrambled to answer the phone. It turned out to be an IT consultant who was fishing for some contracting work. I respectfully, but with what I'm sure was a disappointed tone, informed him that we didn't have any money available to hire him right now.

I got a 650 call yesterday too, but I must admit that I was much, much less polite.

Clearly, as I posted on the Berkeley thread! Now I know what to do when things get slow.
